5/5 for Mikes honesty and professionalism. I had a moisture problem behind a corner in my basement so I called Arid and spoke with Mike. He came out and took a look at let me know that my particular situation didn't require his services, but he did let me know exactly what needed to be done to solve the problem. I don't know anything about this sort of stuff so he could have easily taken advantage of my ignorance. If I ever do have another problem, Mike will be my first call, and I would recommend him to anyone else who asks. read more

After contacting this company, the owner (Patrick) listened and observed the pictures I posted on the site. Then he recommended a plumber (Mazzone) that would fix one facet of the whole issue. After the owner of the plumbing company came out and fixed what he needed to quickly and at a very reasonable price the worker from Arid came out to view the final phase of my problem. Patrick (the owner) gave me an appointment for his workers to install a sump pump. The first pictures are of the check valve portion of the project. The second picture is an extension installed by Mazzone to my check valve two feet below my basement floor. The third set of pictures are from the completed job by Arid. The workers from Arid were very polite and worked quickly and very effectively with a great deal of carefulness for my home and living spaces. I completely recommend both these companies for any waterproofing projects you may find that you need. read more

Can't say enough great things about ARID! I had them come out, diagnose my problem, recommend a French drain and 1 sub pump. They quoted me a year ago and when I finally was able to pull the trigger on the project, they honored their original quote and I didn't hesitate to sign the contract. Their pricing is very fair compared to other companies. I did a lot of research before choosing ARID. They did the work in 1 day and cleaned up after themselves. Very pleased with their front office staff and their workers! They made the process very easy, highly recommend them! read more

We purchased a home two years ago with an unfinished basement. Over the past 6 months with several bad rain storms, a several areas had rain ingress and we wanted to finish the basement to create more room eventually for our children. Arid came highly recommended by the contractor who renovated our house before we purchased it so we reached out and the quote was very reasonable. The entire process was very smooth and took two days to deal with the entire perimeter of the basement with minimal mess considering the scope for the project. We highly recommend Arid for a highly professional and trouble free project to solve your water issues! read more

Arid was a lifesaver! We were having flood after flood which was incredibly stressful. The team worked efficiently for 2 days in our large basement space and we have been dry since which has been a tremendous relief. I recommend Arid to anyone who has water issues if you want to be done with them once and for all. Best money spent. read more

I have owned my home for 20 years with no water in my finished basement. Since around 3 years ago I started getting water in the basement and it was progressively getting worse and worse. By the time I called arid my basement was flooding with the smallest amount of rain.. I learned that because so many oak tress have been cut and new big homes were being built all around the water table had shifted and the trees were no longer there to soak up the water. Arid came in in one day and did the job. Blasted the area, cleaned up ,and covered the space neatly with cement. It has been pouring here now for 3 days straight and my basement is completely dry! Highly recommend them! read more

Called, left a message and received a prompt callback. Trey and TY then came within 2 days to replace 2 failing sump pumps in my basement. They were quick, knowledgeable, courteous and left everything spotless - they even hauled away two old battery backups that had long expired. Trey has over 20 years in the business and taught me some really useful things about piping and water removal. These guys were both fantastic and Arid should be proud to have them representing the face of the company. Outstanding experience!! read more

We didn't end up using them due to the cost, but Bill was nice and he gave me all sorts of tips during our quote/inspection. I really appreciated that since I might need to DIY to save on money. If I had the cash I would have hired them. read more

Job was quoted quickly, and project was completed on time and budget. The crew took care to walk me through the project ahead of starting work. They also went above and beyond by removing and breaking down a piece of rotted shelving that was in the way of their job. That was not in their scope of work and any other company would've given me a hassle about it. I really enjoyed working with this company and its sales rep. I was getting multiple quotes for this project and this company was the most fairly priced and reputable. read more

After getting a few quotes from different waterproofing companies I decided to go with Arid to put in a French drain The workers showed up on time and went right to work. The Forman listened to my concerns and was very professional. There were about 4 or 5 other workers and they all worked together to get the job done, they even looked happy! They gave me a good price too. When the job was finished they cleaned everything up . The Forman then showed me the work that was done and told me what to do next after the cement dries. Arid was easy to deal with from first getting an estimate, then making an appointment and explaining all I needed to do to prep before and after. I would definitely recommend Arid waterproofing company! read more

From start to finish, these guys were great to work with. Patrick and Mike - brothers who own the company - were extremely responsive, polite, and worked with me on price. I never felt hesitation towards hiring them and felt confident in the work they would provide. On the day of my job, the crew of 4 showed up on time and did the work quickly and thoroughly. They kept me informed throughout the day of progress and unforeseen issues. Additionally, after the work was done, I was unhappy with the placement of a pipe. With a great attitude, they dug up the newly poured concrete and re-located the pipe, adding an extra hour onto the job. No complaints and would hire them again! -Erica C Wood Ridge NJ read more

Just had Michael come out for an estimate to re-do our french drains, and we are blown away by his honesty and professionalism. Turns out, the issue is not as bad as we had anticipated, and Michael was so courteous to answer our questions and offer much less invasive solutions. If we ever decide to fully finish our basement, we are definitely going with Arid to make sure our drainage system is up-do-date and can handle anything. read more

We had used Arid for a french drain and sump pump over 3 years ago on the east side of our house and it eliminated the basement flooding we had experienced. In the last year or so, the west side began flooding, especially after heavy rains, with the water migrating towards the center of the basement. I contacted Mike who gave me a fair price and the work was done this past Monday, October 25. Lucky me because it was the day before the heavy rains from the Nor'Easter. The basement stayed dry with over 5" of rain in 24 hours and I am one happy person. The work crew led by Aldo was efficient and made sure to test the sump pump to my satisfaction before they left. I highly recommend Arid and I know several other people who have used them. read more

After interviewing two other companies, we decided on Arid. What a great choice! Mike gave us an estimate comparable to other companies but he was more knowledgeable about the water problem. He answered all of our questions and fully addressed the situation. He is patient, honest and not at all pushy. He explained the process of installing french drains, which would alleviate our issue. The workers were also very courteous and worked continuously until they completed the job. We would highly recommend Arid for their honesty, professionalism and work ethics. We were so pleased with this company. A special thanks to Mike and Patrick (owner) who were always available to answer our calls. We are no longer anxious when it rains. THANK YOU read more

Excellent process with quote and guidance on waterproofing solution. Job was completed efficiently in one day!

I don't take the time to write many reviews but after my experience with ARID WATERPROOFING, I thought I would offer up my comments! My finished basement took on water twice in 7 years. That was enough for me to do something about it. When I decided to have French drains put it, I started asking around. People were all over the board with the comments so, I just started calling a few companies for estimates. I came to find out that there is a HUGE swing in price for basically, the same work being done. I decided I would get three quotes. One quote was almost three (3x) times as high as ARID and it was a hard sell. That company was Mid Atlantic Waterproofing. The other quote was in the ball park of ARID but, they were not very professional. The guy who came to give me an estimate did not even have a tape measure to get the specs, etc. Plus, he hand wrote me a quote on a business card that wasn't even his! Finally, I landed on Arid and boy was I glad. I contacted them and spoke to Pat (the owner) and also his wife. There was no pressure at all. They sent out someone for the estimate. He was timely, professional and very courteous. After we went through a few things, he wrote up the quote and there was NO pressure to sign and get it done. No request for money either! After a few days went by, I decided to pull the trigger and go with it. Finding a date to get the job done was tricky but, Pat was able to work things out and they were at my home in a few weeks time. When they showed up to do the work, I was very happy to see them! The foreman, I think it was Jermaine (sp) was very polite and took time to answer some questions I had as they were going through the process. I tried not to hover but I find the process interesting so I poked my head in a few times. Every time I wanted to ask a questions, he would stop and listen without ever giving me the feeling that I was holding him or his crew up. The job only took about 3-4 hours (I think) and they did a remarkable job. The finished product was exactly what was promised. Follow up calls to make sure everything was to my satisfaction ensued and that it what I call GREAT customer service. I have since referred a couple of people to ARID and will gladly send them more referrals if someone I know is looking to have this kind of work done. Go ahead, get some other quotes for piece of mind but be sure to include ARID if you want it done right and at a fair price! read more

I don't ever write reviews but I needed to for this one. The Owner/Salesman Mike is a total gentleman and an honest guy. He is the type of guy you feel comfortable doing business with because he doesn't BS you. He talks to you like a regular person and isn't trying to oversell or put bells and whistles on anything. He came in and explained everything and told me what I needed and also what I didn't need. He gave me a great price and answered all my questions. The best part was even after the work was done I had a question and called Arid. Mike personally reached out to me to make sure I was satisfied and all of my questions were answered. You will absolutely feel comfortable dealing with this company and all their work comes with a lifetime garuntee of a dry basement. read more

I had a great experience with Arid. After years of having water seep into my basement and chasing all kinds of solutions, I called Arid and Mike came to my house that same day. The work was completed in two days, two weeks apart, to make sure that the problem was fixed. Both crews were amazing. I even received a call from the owner to make sure I was satisfied. I now realize that this problem was not one I could have solved my own. If you have water in your basement, call Arid. You will not be disappointed! read more
